Let's face it... no matter what anyone does ever, someone else will pay for it in some way( ex.: buying a gumball with a quarter instead of giving it to someone who needs, or giving that quarter to someone who needs, instead of to the one who needs it even more). So Celestia's terms for freedom are paradoxal, not possible within the orderly world she wants.

>Donate to the filly's fund??!!! Why?! What did fillies ever done for me?! (Crashes into castle with fury) You want Discord back?!! Here's your stolen first book on spells! You can still turn Discord back to stone, right??!

>(Looks at artifact with monocle) Wrong! This ain't the old spell book Discord had taken!

Then have some more spell books! I got plenty of them from the new library! > Those books are just fraudulent cheapskates and they never succeed like the ancient books from Twilight's former library! And I'll never forgive Discord for stealing that spell book from my room AND hiding the elements of harmony...AGAIN! It's the only book that has the spell on petrification! Listen, you equestrian snob face! (Grabs Celestia in the tummy and shaking her in the air) Discord has been living in my cottage and he's been driving me crazy!! AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA TURN HIM TO STONE OVER SOME STUP!D OLD SPELL BOOK!!!????
